The books of E.Nesbit Buddy Read

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

Since summer has arrived here in the Northern Hemisphere, I thought it would be a good idea to have this buddy read start in July too.
E. Nesbit has witten many delightful books for children-enough to keep us busy for the rest of the year!

A good place to begin is with her most famous trilogy: Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Carpet, and The Story of the Amulet.

Our group has already read The Railway Children, one of my favourite children's books.

Happy reading everyone!

[Kathy]

I'll be reading Five Children and It.

I enjoyed reading Five Children and It in March of this year. My kids also liked it when they read it many years ago.

[Nidhi]

I have The Railway Children on my tbr, this will be my first book by this author.

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

Good to have you on board, Kathy and Nidhi!

[Cosmic]

Reading Five Children and It today.

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

Enjoy, Cosmic!

I'll be reading The Enchanted Castle.

[Kathy]

I’m about halfway through Five Children and It and am delighted with this imaginative story. The writing is lovely and the characters are so likable. I’m especially charmed by “The Lamb,” the baby brother who loves being sticky.

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

That's good to hear, Kathy.

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

I've just finished The Enchanted Castle, which was a fun read. But a better name for the book would have been The Magic Ring. Wishes don't always work out the way they're supposed to, but everything is fine in the end,

[Kathy]

That book looks like a good one, Rosemarie.

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

It's starts kind of strangely but it grows on you and the ending is perfect.

[Kathy]

I've finished Five Children and It and will definitely read more by E. Nesbit. I missed her books as a child.

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

I grew up in a very small town and they actually had a couple of her books, and The Little House on the Prairie books, which I loved.

[Kathy]

Those are good books to have.

[Rosemarie, Northern Roaming Scholar]

That's how I felt.
